Agreed. I love amazon but this is ridiculous! You can buy a brand new third gen nano with 8gb (twice the memory of this) for $199 online at apple.com. And they're selling the 2nd gen ones as refurbished for $99.

I am confused by this as well. Why would the older, out-dated version cost more? It is not an antique!

I bought a reconditioned one from Apple for $99, added additonal 2 yr warranty for $39, best deal I could find.

Amazon doesn't guarantee the cheapest price, it only guarantees that you will be provided a safe marketplace to buy products. Be careful of knockoffs, and old expired product when it gets that cheap. I can tell you that price is below what I buy it for.

Amazon routinely puts [OLD VERSION] if a product is not the latest version. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the product, just that it's not the latest version. Someone would be pretty ticked off if, for example, they bought Acrobat 9 for around $250 and then found out the current version is Acrobat XI and they could get that for around the same price.

Thanks G. Mercado, I did notice that it wasn't actually Amazon itself selling at the higher price. I was just referring to the extra $200.00 profit that Toyzz was trying to make. I seriously thought it was a misprint as I would hope people are not that desperate for TC. I know I am not!

As a consumer I do not control the pricing. That is between the manufacturer and Amazon who control the pricing. You would need to contact them and ask them how they come up with the pricing and why. As a consumer I just buy it-I don't make up the pricing or decide what it should cost.

It's the same here now. What happens occasionally, depending on when you look, is Amazon is out of stock and some of the third party sites in the Amazon marketplace will sell above MSRP, sometimes far above.

yes, I do understand, but there are others online web store that willing to sell around 1,000 too.I just want to buy it from Amazon, but if it still nothing soon. I'll order from another web.One thing that I don't understand that, why others store have it but Amazon doesn't?

it's because amazon is awesome, not sure if you've realized. But its an old stereo four years or so. items decrease in value after a while, smaller retailers have less product and thus they need to sell if for more in order to make a profit. Also amazon buys directly from companies and companies sell directly through amazon so they are usually trying to more product especially when its an older product like this. retailers might have to buy through a 2nd or 3rd supplier and thus again they need to sell at a higher price to make the same profit. There is also shipping prices where online you pay for from the manufacture or amazon's warehouse. it's because amazon is awesome, not sure if you've realized.

We are constantly trying to provide the lowest price to our customers. As our competitors price changes, we adjust our price. This is why you will see price fluctuations on Amazon.

Because prices on Amazon constantly fluctuate. The main provider can and do change their prices based upon numerous things/ What you do is put the item of interest in your cart. Then check your cart once a day. It often goes down. But you find if you are patient it goes down even further. It's the Amazon price game. They are not in control of all these things. Maybe some. It really is a game for your patience and guessing. Like gambling with you $20. I've left things sit in my cart for months!

Wow. It seems they've already run out. However, it ships and sells from Target. I love Target, but I don't want to have to pay sales tax and shipping & handling, so I'm going to wait until Amazon sells it themselves.

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

You're looking at offerings from "third party" sellers, so Amazon is not setting the price, they're just handling the shipping of the item.I don't see any listings where Amazon is the actual seller, only the shipper, so don't blame them for the pricing, that's determined by the third party seller.

wondering this myself it looks like it does....but I actually contacted the company yesterday and they said they have never tested. WHAT seriously ???????....they also had this marked at 19.99 & when I said I wanted to order they changed the price and never emailed me back or even commented on too emails and facebooks message. Working in customer service I'm shocked at this customer service hopefully the founder will read this. Not sure if I want to support them but do trust amazon's customer service 100 percent.

Agreed. It is something that happens now and again on Amazon. We have no control when this sort of pricing strategy happens. Good luck, The Afternoon
